This was exactly what I was looking for and it didn’t disappoint! Good adhesion and seems like it will last forever.
Very happy I found this. It shipped quickly and it is very nice.
Saw a video of these no drill hood struts for 1st Gen Truck/4 Runner and found them online from Preserve Rad. I ordered and emailed Preserve Rad and they responded quickly and also provided tracking info. I received the struts quickly. I have not installed them yet. I think they will be a great addition to my vehicle.
My back window controller was damaged by water intrusion. This was the only way to get my back window operational again, and I appreciate the additional options that it has.
Look good. Good fit. It's nice to have unweathered cups.
Will keep buying from them!

I got the TRD version and it matches my aftermarket TRD shift knob perfectly!

Awesome product! Works like a charm!
This literally took me 30 minutes, and I did not have to modify or drill into anything. It's a fun and easy mod to let the kiddo put their hand on the truck and not have anything catastrophic happen. The hood opens a little more than it would with the hood prop, which is nice but not enough to really notice. It works great and as should! I will be buying from these guys again!

Spiker Engineering's Hood Strut Kit for 1984-1989 1st Gen Toyota 4Runners and 1984-1988 Toyota Pickups eliminates the need for the OEM hood prop rod, providing an unobstructed engine compartment. This kit is entirely bolt-on, requiring no drilling or permanent modifications, making installation quick and fully reversible if you choose to remove the struts later.
With this kit, opening and closing the hood becomes a one-handed task. The struts lift the hood smoothly to its full open position and ensure secure closure without slamming. Proudly 100% made in the USA, this kit includes premium, OEM-quality components: two enameled gloss black hood struts, heavy-gauge black powder-coated brackets, all necessary installation hardware—including their innovative “SlotLOK” nut plates for the hood—and illustrated step-by-step installation instructions.
Installation takes less than 15 minutes and the kit has a five-year warranty.
